Patna, (Bihar Times): Following the repeated attack on the mobile towers by the Maoists the cellular mobile companies operating in rural Bihar have sought enhanced police protection around them.
Many mobile towers of the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited, Reliance C ommunications and Airtel have been targeted by the CPI-Maoists in Rohtas, Gaya and Aurangabad districts in the last three months. This has caused huge financial loss to these companies.
Reports said that in the past 10 days, the extremists blew up at least half a dozen mobile towers belonging to Airtel and Reliance Communications in Gaya and Aurangabad districts taking advatage of lack of adequate security around the towers. The extremists targeted the mobile towers after some of their top leaders were arrested after their calls were intercepted with the help of these towers.
